Carousel Post: I made 30 Paan at home in New York City!

November 5, 2023 / / 0 Comments

I recently had a paan making adventure that I want to share with you.

My mom was hosting an Eid party in New Jersey where she lives and asked me to make 30 meetha paans! In addition to a lot of kulfi.

I started making paan as a hobby and she actually likes my paan. But I had never made so many at one time before.

(The kulfi was easier, I do that a lot)

I took on the challenge and made a video to share with you.

Along the way I tell you about how I came to be so fascinated with paan in the first place.

For those who don’t know: paan is a South Asian street food / delicacy involving lots of different sweet or savory toppings wrapped in a betel leaf.

Hope you enjoy!

I attended the Diwali festival in Times Square On October 28, 2023 — in the heart of New York City. I got to witness a NYC version of the magic of Diwali, the Festival of Lights, in one of the most iconic and bustling places on the planet. It was a great experience, and I’m excited to share it with you.

You’ll see the intricate Rangoli designs, the infectious rhythms of Bollywood music, and the mouthwatering aroma of authentic Indian cuisine.
